GETTING THINGS READY

CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

There are two possible ways to connect your cooker, please choose from the most appropriate after reading the descriptions.

a) It is recommended that this appliance is wired

with suitably rated cable (min 13 A), into fixed wiring using a double pole isolator with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral, located within 2m of the appliance. If this fixed wiring circuit is only supplying the cooker, then a fuse of 13A ( or circuit breaker ) should be

fuse of 13A ( or circuit breaker ) should be

incorporated. When the circuit combines oven and hob, then wire and fuse rating should be increased accordingly.

Subject to Regional Electricity Company regulations if you wish to connect the oven and hob to the power supply you may use one of the following two methods:-

b) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a

cooker point you can:i) By connecting the oven and hob separately

to the cooker point. Oven and hob units should be separately connected to a control panel. In this case the cooker should be operated from 6mm² twin core, and earth, PVC insulated multicore cable. See Fig. 1.

Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker point if required should be made to your Regional Electricity Company to ensure compliance with their regulations.

The cooker point should be within 2m of the cooker to make it accessible to switch off the cooker in case of an emergency.

To protect the hands wear gloves when lifting the oven into its housing.

NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT

Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried out before the cooker is connected to the mains supply and re-checked after fitting.

RATING PLATE

COOKWARE

Record the model and serial numbers on the back cover of this instruction book from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the oven door.

The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR OVEN

We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.

During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

(BS 611 only) When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound press both timer buttons together.

(BS 621 only) The timer must be set to manual before the oven can be operated. See page 19. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure.

If the oven indicator neon does not glow when the controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use.

During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled BS621 Only - if an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not come on until the cook time begins.

Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON

This light indicates whether the oven (BS 621) or grill or oven (BS 611 only) is switched ON. In the case of the oven, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached.

If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

(BS 621 Only) When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The oven is vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
